About 9 years ago I wanted to build a Bass VI because I love offset instruments, and 6-string E-E bass with vibrato arm is cool. But later I realized that despite the fact that I was a bass player, I wanted like to play guitar sometimes and I didn't have one. But all the guitar necks are too short and thin for someone used to play bass. So I found a luthier who created this guitar for me.

1. Neck: maple neck with ebony fretboard.
• Scale: 26.38″ (670mm)
• Nut Width: 1⅞″ (48 mm)
• Fret #: 22

2. Body: alder. Color: RAL 5024, matte finish (wanted to have something similar to the daphne blue).

3. Schematics. Not decided yet. Will be something weird and crazy.

4. Pickups: Mojo Pickups.

5. Tuners: Gotoh SD91-05M.

6. Pickguard: 4-Ply White Pear.

7. Bridge: Staytrem Wide Bridge for Bass VI (I think that the only option in this case).

8. Mastery Vibrato with the UFO arm and Mastery String Tree.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! So nice to hear all these kind words.

The logo is the same as in my band where I played for 7 years :) The name of the band is Coffin Wheels, surf rock.

I will definitely update the thread when I have some updates regarding the electronics.

That looks mad. The gold in the pickups sets the blue off very nicely.

Thanks! That was my main concern when I was installing pickups, I thought that silver would be better, but now I'm used to it.
